For this painting I used a smaller brush than I usually do and I also added cad yellow deep to my palette which makes the beautiful rich greens and just gives the golds a little more punch.

The more I paint cows the more I want to paint cows.

Cow 105 For whom the bell tolls

6 x 6 inch
oil on 1/8th canvas board
SOLD

This cow was done starting with a black gesso board.  Starting dark can be challenging to begin with but once you get your mind

around it the painting comes to life, the colours start jumping out immediately.  The effect is completely different once finished, it reminds me of when were kids and used to draw with coloured chock on the blackboard.

I used indian yellow for the underpainting and kept things ever so loose.  I like how this painting turned out, I really tried not to over do anything which is definitely one of my challenges.

This is another painting from the pictures I took at the farm I visited, all of the calves had separate stalls, this one was the most curious although quite shy. Also she was so beautiful and new, her eyes so shiny...such a sweet girl.

I concentrated on the shadows for this painting, I usually tend to make them too dark...it is always a challenge.

Cow 89 LUNCH TIME

SOLD

I was fortunate enough to spend a couple of hours at one our local dairy farms yesterday.  We drove up to the barn where the cows were just enjoying their lunch, but curiosity was peaked for one gal who quickly made eye contact with me  long enough to get some great photos...she had the prettiest eyes.

Cow 81 HEAD HONCHO

6x6 inches
oil on gessobord
SOLD

This is another painting I started with a white canvas...no underpainting, I am really enjoying the process, it's like someone turned a bright light on while you were painting...change is always good to shake things up a little.
